“Then once the rubber stacks up and catches fire-Then we will have the equivalent of a leaf blower blowing oxygen on the fire and see how fast it gets a lot bigger.

“Issues like this could be fixed really quick, if the teams had control over their own cars. But, with spec cars, there are lots of red tape and layers in getting problems solved.”

Childers is probably not a popular guy in Daytona Beach right now.

Click. Let me know when Nascar is about racing again.

They abandoned their roots. I hope they go out of business.
